In the in
nterests of sa
afety， valv ves installed d on end-of-line service in the closedd position with
w
infrequeent opening should
s be fittted with a lo
ocking devic
ce on the op perating mecchanism.
Alternatively，it sho ould be fitted
d plug with a thread on thet outlet of the valve.

 OP
PERATING
G

The valvve is opened d by anti-cloc

ckwise rotattion of the poost indicatorr to a positive
ve stop. Furth
her effort
is not neecessary. When
W fully open it is adva
antageous to o rotate the post
p indicatoor clockwise 1/2 turn.
To close e the valve, the post inddicator is ro tated clockw
wise to a pos sitive stop. WWheelkeys oro other
similar ddevices shou uld not be ussed.
Note:
When th he valve is closed at extreme high te emperature and then co ooled， the wedge may y become
tight in tthe valve and prove difficult to openn.
Converssely， a valve closed att room temp perature can n be difficult to open if thhere is an inc
crease in
fluid tem
mperature ca ausing a lineear expansio on of the steem， which tightens thee wedge further into
the bodyy seats.
The valvve should only
o be used in the op en or close ed position. Regulating or throttling g service
should b be avoided.

(7) In syystems wherre corrosion could be a potential ha azard， wall thickness cchecks on th he body
and bon nnet should be b made. Th his requires either the re emoval of thhe valve fromm the pipelin
ne or
removall of the bonn net with the system
